Weather in August
Temperature
Lockport marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C), subtly divergent from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Throughout August nights, Lockport experiences a consistent temperature average of 77°F (25°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
